Classic comedy.

Lionel and Jean go in search of The Copper Kettle, a restaurant they visited back in 1953.

This is the first episode that I would deem an absolute classic, it's a wonderful episode, it's loaded with jokes, sarcasm, humour and nostalgia. You learn so much about the couple, and you see the romance building, it's truly lovely viewing.

There are so many funny scenes, the walk, the garage, and tea. I love the cutting, sarcastic remarks that Lionel makes the whole way through, so funny.

There's something so incredibly heart warming about it, how could you not help but fall in love with Lionel and Jean, and their beautiful story.

I loved how many times Norwich was mentioned.

9/10.

Trivia
Jean jokes about old ladies soaking their feet and "listening to James Last." Last was a composer and big band leader of the James Last Orchestra.

Goofs
After finding their rented car blocked in by other vehicles, Lionel and Jean decide to remain and eat at that location. During the meal Lionel remarks " If the car had had a sunroof, he could have climbed in". Their rental car does in fact have a sunroof.
